HANCOCK - BEHELER - HUDSON - HOWER John W. and Mattie M. (HANCOCK) BEHELER owned land in Ohio Co. in the 1890's. I have copies of the Ohio Co. Circuit Court Equity papers, which foreclose on the property known as a part of the Thomas HUDSON farm. The foreclosure took place after the death of Mattie Aug 30, 1894. These papers are the only lists I have been able to find of all their surviving children together (listed as heirs and defendants in the foreclosure suit.) The plaintiff was F. M. HOOVER. Sometime before Mattie died, the family apparently moved to Henderson Co., because she and a daughter died there and John died there in 1897. In John's will, he asks that Francis M. HOWER of Ohio Co. be made guardian of two of the children. Does anyone have information on Francis M. HOWER? Is there a family relationship there that I have overlooked? Are there newspapers that might detail the foreclosure suit? I have a webpage called "Saga of the BEHELER Orphans" which names all the children and much of what I know about them. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Debra Beheler for more, visit The Saga of the Beheler Orphans Posted: January 21, 1997
